Today, the vast majority of energy is produced the same way it was at the end of the 19th century, by burning fossil fuels. We owe a great deal to these fossil fuels as they have have launched humanity into an unprecedented era of prosperity. However, this power source was not enough to propel everyone into prosperity. We’re literally “running out of gas” while billions of people still remain trapped in poverty.

The Energy Crisis*
*and the fusion footnote

According to many sources, the world today is caught in an escalating energy crisis. The crisis has profound economic, political and environmental impacts, which are steadily getting worse. But there is something missing from the old “Energy Crisis” equation, and that is Focus Fusion.

“The Matrix” movies have an odd take on energy conservation.  Apparently, humans “shut off the sun” by darkening the skies with permanent ink.  So permanent that even after hundreds of years the sun can’t penetrate it.

Fission and Fusion are both Nuclear Energy.  When people discuss nuclear power, they are usually referring to nuclear fission. This is because we have many nuclear power plants that use fission, but no one has been able to build a working fusion plant yet.  The biggest practical difference between the two is that fusion reactions don’t have the problem of “chain reactions” and “melt-downs”.
